Viewing Notes

Outstanding movie and amazing acting from both McConaughey and Leto. While I didn’t know anything about this particular story I do remember a lot about that time period and the desperation and controversy surrounding HIV/AIDs and the drug treatments.

The only weak spot in the movie was Jennifer Garner’s character who was uninspiring and flat.
